It’s getting rediculous. Having to watch Dice-K pitch is painful to say the least.
Last night Matsuzaka tied a franchise record set 80 years ago with four wild pitches in a single game.
I felt bad for George Kottaras who catchthe game last night. It was like a Little League game where the pitcher is clearly out of control and has no business being on the mound.
The catcher was forced to go chasing balls to the backstop all night.
Oh and by the way the Sox bullpen added two more wild pitches of their own to tie a modern baseball record with 6 in a game.
These are your first place Boston Red Sox.
Dice-K went 5 innings and let up 3 runs which is the only stat line that matters. Lets say in one start a pitcher goes 5 innings, throws 110 pitches, with 6 walks and 2 runs. To me that is just as impressive as someone who goes five innings, striking out 8, no walks and letting up 2 runs. ERA, wins, and innings pitch are the only real stats that matter for a pitcher.
